Hey Tim!

 TS> I am not aware of anybody notable claiming CP1252 equals LATIN-1

I am unsure of what "notable" means to you.  A quick check of both iana and glibc doesn't yeild anything for LATIN-1.  Both show LATIN1 as a valid alias for ISO-8859-1.

 TS> ... because it does not.

Agreed.

 TS> Some software messes things like this up, but that is simply a
 TS> software defect.

Yes.  I suggest we avoid those mess ups and a good place to start would to be giving LATIN-1 the heave-ho.

Life is good,
Maurice
